Florida Students End Sit-In At Gov. Rick Scott's Office After 31 Days

A group of student activists known as the Dream Defenders ended their sit-in Thursday at the Florida capitol in Talahassee after 31 days and 30 nights, the Miami Herald reported.

The activists weren't able to get Gov. Rick Scott (R) to call a special session on the state's Stand Your Ground law, but they did draw national attention for the longest sit-in the capitol has seen in recent history.

The sit-in began July 16, three days after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Scott met with the protesters on July 18, but refused their demands, according to the Herald.
